Historic Design Guidelines

The following guidelines were prepared to help guide preservation, rehabilitation and new construction involving the historic structures of Dublin. While the guidelines focus primarily on the Historic District, they are useful for, and apply to, any of the community’s historic buildings. The ARB uses the guidelines to evaluate rehabilitation work, both for buildings in the district and for other individually-designated properties also subject to ARB review.
